A newly emerged Four Spot Chaser dragonfly I spotted drying its wings beside one of the lakes at Coate Water Park in Swindon last Tuesday. I guess this one had only hatched minutes ago, so I was extremely lucky that it was in pristine condition and unable to fly off when I attempted to photograph it. What a difference a week makes, when this one was taken it was hazy sunshine and temperatures in the mid twenties, now it is overcast and cold with temperatures barely in the low teens! It ain't meant to be getting any better this week, welcome to the start of the Great British summer folks, it's time to get out those woolies and don your rain gear!

Looks like that rain is headed up our way in a bit then!
With the weather we might have to take up fish photography Ed, a stunner again.

You could be right Ade, so long as we avoid it here in the South West!

Quote: What a belter, Ed, and how lucky to find one just hatched and willing to pose for you I was chasing them yesterday, and I mean chasing them, they were so lively . Up in the 30's here today, wall to wall sunshine and just a light breeze. Carol
